Église Saint-Martin d'Hix, Romanesque church in Hix, France

Saint-Martin Church features a single nave with an ogival barrel vault and a circular apse illuminated by windows with marble columns.

The current Romanesque building received historical monument status on November 19, 1910, protecting its architectural heritage for future generations.

The interior houses wooden statues from the 12th and 13th centuries, including a Virgin Mary and Christ figure that exemplify medieval religious art.

The church holds a ceremonial cape adorned with a German imperial eagle embroidered in gold and silk of unknown origin.
